The CMMI framework helps organizations improve processes through process areas like requirements management, project planning, and project monitoring. It defines goals and practices for each process area. Implementing CMMI improves predictability, quality, productivity, and reduces costs and defects. It provides a common framework that organizations can use to assess their process maturity and identify improvement areas.

4. Process :
 Sequence of steps performed for a given purpose
 A set of inter related activities, which transform inputs into
outputs, to achieve a given purpose
Process Area :
 A cluster of related practices in an area that, when implemented
collectively, satisfies a set of goals considered important for
making improvement in that area

Benefits of Improving the Processes
Processes enables you to understand what is going on
By defining, measuring and controlling the processes,
improvements are more successful and sustained
People develop their potential fully and effectively

7. While process is often described as a node of the process-people-technology triad, it
can also be considered the “glue” that ties the triad together.
